Remains of a former House of Correction, dated 1825 and designed by Bryan Browning (but alleged to have been built in 1808). Only the gatehouse-cum-governor's house survives and is stone-faced in three bays. {2}{3}
The House of Correction lies where Henry de Beaumont's Folkingham castle (PRN 30067) stood. {2}
The House of Correction was built in 1808 and considerably enlarged in 1825 when the treadmill was added. The number of prisoners accommodated seldom exceeded 80. Twenty new cells were added in 1849 and a west wing was added in 1852. {4}
This building replaced the older jail and House of Correction (see PRN 36989). It included a treadmill, hand-crank, chapel and whipping post. In 1878 it was closed and the remaining prisoners removed elsewhere. Afterwards, the staff rooms were used to provide accommodation for local people until after the Second World War, when new housing was built elsewhere in the village. {5}
A House of Correction was built in 1808 within the remains of the Norman castle. It was enlarged in 1825 and a west wing was constructed in 1852. The prison closed in 1878 and the remaining inmates were transferred to other institutions. The prisonstaff rooms were used to house local people until after the Second World War when new housing was built in the village. {6} | Subjects: | Prisons General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1808 - 1878 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
